no, 2d5 should work fine, although 2d6 would be better.

I don't understand why you'd even try 1.8.7 instead of just sticking
with 1.8.8....

Don't know what to tell you.  The symbol exists, it's exported by the
report-system module, and the account-piecharts report loads the
report-system module... So the symbol should be there (and indeed it
IS there on my machine, and every other machine I've used).  Sounds
like a linker problem on your system.

What version of libtool do you have?  What about libltdl?

Appears so.  Perhaps you should use a real Linux distribution?

Yes, but gnucash wont work with slib3, which is why I specified slib2.
